Women Using Their Voice:
“CBS This Morning” co-host and longtime PBS star Charlie Rose has been accused by eight women of making unwanted sexual advances toward them and admitted to some of the misconduct in a statement, according to the Washington Post. Both PBS and CBS suspended him.
Rose’s alleged misconduct includes making lewd phone calls, walking around naked and groping the womens breasts, buttocks or genital areas, according to the Post. Rose’s accusers were employees or “aspired to work for Rose at The Charlie Rose show’ on PBS from the late 1990s to as recently as 2011.”
“CBS This Morning” has been growing rapidly since it launched in 2012, but still struggles to match the viewership of rivals “Today” and “Good Morning America,” while Rose’s show on PBS has aired regularly since 1991. Rose’s PBS show is filmed at the Bloomberg LP headquarters, making three major media organizations tied up in the latest harassment scandal.
"PBS was shocked to learn today of these deeply disturbing allegations. We are immediately suspending distribution of 'Charlie Rose,'" PBS said in a statement.

ReplyDeleteThe group became lost and confused. After two more days without food, Patrick Dolan proposed that one of them should volunteer to die in order to feed the others.
Some suggested a duel, while another account describes an attempt to create a lottery to choose a member to sacrifice.
Eddy suggested that they keep moving until someone simply fell, but a blizzard forced the group to halt. Antonio the animal handler was the first to die; Franklin Graves was the next casualty.
As the blizzard progressed, Patrick Dolan began to rant deliriously, stripped off his clothes, and ran into the woods. He returned shortly afterwards and died a few hours later. Not long after, possibly because 12-year-old Lemuel Murphy was near death, some of the group began to eat flesh from Dolan's body.
Lemuel's sister tried to feed some to her brother, but he died shortly afterwards. Eddy, Salvador, and Luis refused to eat. The next morning, the group stripped the muscle and organs from the bodies of Antonio, Dolan, Graves, and Murphy and dried it to store for the days ahead, taking care to ensure that nobody would have to eat his or her relatives.

ReplyDeleteI notice John Conyers has been accused of sexual harassment.
Now that the genie is out of the bottle, I wouldn't be surprised to see it go on for years. Whenever you have people (men or women) in positions of power, you are going to have instances of intimidation and harassment, sexual or otherwise.
What we won't see is the millions of times it has happened over the years to non-celebrities.
To counter an opinion upstream, I would argue that the culture has changed. When it's changed among a large percentage of the majority of the population, it has changed.
I wouldn't want to be out trying to navigate the dating scene these days.
.
Some of the abuse is obvious as in sexual harassment, when a person objects to your advances and you keep it up you're harassing them.
It's always best to have a settled trusted harem one knows one can rely on, rather to have to face the current crap shoot out there 'on the street', 'in society'.

In extreme cases some young immigrant women, even those you have just given birth in the USA, immediately flee with the baby back to their home country to get away from the father and verbal and physical abuser.
ReplyDeleteMy father who was a lawyer always maintained that there needs be at least one physical corroborating piece of evidence, or an independent witness to convict.
ReplyDeleteThat was the standard when he started out in the law.
I remember he and mom discussing it when it changed.
I think it's been shown over time that women do indeed lie in some circumstances.
So I think the statement that women have 'a right to be believed' might go too far.
Their accusations should be taken seriously, but not automatically at face value.

DeleteState school board to take up certification of teacher accused of rape
ReplyDeleteA proposal to revoke the certification of a Yukon high school teacher accused of having sex with a student is expected go before the Oklahoma State Board of Education next month.
Canadian County deputies arrested Hunter Day, 22, about 5 p.m. Wednesday on complaints of rape, possession of child pornography and soliciting sex from a minor.
Day was a first-year, emergency certified teacher. Deana Silk, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma State Department of Education, said the board is expected to take up the matter of Day's certification in executive session at a December 19 meeting.
The student's parents became suspicious that their son was having sex with his chemistry teacher after they found nude photos of a woman they thought was the teacher on his phone.
Investigators determined Day and the boy had already had a sexual relationship and were planning to have sex again at Day's home Wednesday afternoon. Using the boy's phone, investigators contacted Day and asked if "the meeting was still on." Day replied that it was, and said the boy should hurry to her home before her husband came home from work.
Investigators texted day again, saying they were at the home. Day replied "the door is unlocked as usual." Inside the home, investigators found Day waiting on the living room floor with candles lit.

DeleteMan accused of killing jogger details final moments of torture
ReplyDeleteAlleged jogger killer no longer pursuing insanity defense
Slain jogger's mom had daughter's face tattooed on arm
Dad of slain jogger vents at accused killer in court
Sharpton aide blasts NYPD escort for dead jogger's parents
The family of Queens jogger Karina Vetrano broke down in court Monday as they for the first time watched her accused killer detail to cops the tortured final minutes of their daughter’s life.
Cathie Vetrano let out an anguished moan in between sobs as she heard Chanel Lewis calmly confess to the brutal August 2016 beating, in which he broke her daughter’s teeth and kept beating her until she lost consciousness before strangling her.
At one point, the mom brought the foot-long, golden crucifix she routinely totes to court to her face, watching the footage through tears. Her sister Tana Vetrano sat frozen, her teeth bared at Lewis as she cried.
“I was mad, I saw red,” the accused killer tells cops in the video, which was played during a pre-trial hearing Monday to determine whether or not it’ll be deemed admissible as evidence.
Lewis says he grabbed Vetrano as she ran past him through the marshy swamp, adding she clawed at his face as he hit her five times before she was knocked unconscious.
“She didn’t yell. She was finished.”
“I finished her off, I strangled her. She fell into the puddle and drowned,” he says coolly in the footage. “I got up and wiped off the blood. And she was calm, she was in the pool [of water].”
“It was like all the way over [her face],” he says of the puddle, gesturing across his own face.
Incredibly, after telling cops how he “finished her off,” the 21-year-old seemed to think he could pay his way out of murder charges.
“I can straighten out my stuff?” Lewis asks the befuddled prosecutor after he spills his guts during the Feb. 2017 interview. “Well, you’re the DA, right? Where do we go from here? Is there a restitution program or something?”
Before confessing, he’d told Det. Barry Brown “I want to change my life, I’m sorry for what I did.”
But he insisted he didn’t molest her, even though her jogging shorts had been pulled down. “I didn’t do any of the stuff they said, sexual assault and stuff like that,” he told cops, according to the tape.
He said he then walked home up the bike path, “shaken up,” hoping to get napkins to stop the bleeding from the scratches she’d left on his face.
When asked why he attacked the jogger, Lewis confusingly responded that he killed Vetrano “because a guy moved into my house and the neighborhood.”
Her father, Philip Vetrano, said he was feeling “a lot of anger” and lashed into Lewis’ relatives before he and his family left court in an unmarked police car.
“His family left the room,” he said brusquely. “They couldn’t listen to his confession. We know where the coward got his cowardliness from.
“The truth hurts,” he added. “It’s pathetic. “It’s just so tomorrow they can say their offspring is not guilty.”
Lewis’ family ignored questions.

McCall had escorted Lewis’ distressed mother, Veta, to the proceeding.
“We had taxpayer dollars used in the courtroom sitting as we speak,” he griped. “We had officers in the courtroom protecting the family.”

Sweden’s Rape Jihad: Sexual Offenses Reach Record
ReplyDeleteBy Pamela Geller - on November 20, 2017
RAPE JIHAD
New Year’s Eve mass rapes, music festivals sex attacks, women attacked in open markets, concert bombings, truck attacks on parades, and now Halloween: every cherished Western tradition and Western mores are becoming associated with fear and terror. These mass sex attacks are a form of terror — we may still be taking our shoes off because of Richard Reid’s failed incendiary shoe attack in 2001, but the global jihad is protean, constantly evolving and “inventing” new forms of savagery and terror. Reacting is a strategy for defeat. We must get ahead of the enemy, not play catch up.
Sex slavery is sanctioned under Islam. At the risk of repeating myself for the umpteenth time, sex slavery and rape of the infidel is sanctioned and rewarded under Islam. Muslim clerics all over the world confirm the right to have sex slaves. It is in the Qur’an — the word of Allah. Politicians and courts of law keep turning a blind eye, law enforcement keeps ignoring it, so this pox on our communities will continue to get worse.
Following a victory, Muhammad would usually distribute the captives, both male and female, as slaves to his soldiers. And Muhammad is the “perfect example for Muslims.” According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war” (33:50). 4:3 and 4:24 extend this privilege to Muslim men in general. The Qur’an says that a man may have sex with his wives and with these slave girls: “The believers must (eventually) win through, those who humble themselves in their prayers; who avoid vain talk; who are active in deeds of charity; who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess, for (in their case) they are free from blame.” (Qur’an 23:1-6) A manual of Islamic law directs: “When a child or a woman is taken captive, they become slaves by the fact of capture, and the woman’s previous marriage is immediately annulled” (Reliance of the Traveller, o9.13).

CRIME WAVE ENGULFS SWEDEN AS FRAUD, SEXUAL OFFENSES REACH RECORD
DeleteBy Niklas Magnusson, Bloomberg, November 16, 2017:
The number of Swedes who were victims of crimes such as fraud and sexual offenses jumped to the highest level on record last year.
A survey by the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention showed that 15.6 percent of people suffered one or more offences against the person (defined in the survey as assault, threats, sexual offences, robbery, fraud or harassment) last year. That’s up from 13.3 percent in 2015 and the highest number recorded since the annual Swedish Crime Survey started in 2006.
The number of offences against individuals “was at a relatively stable level 2005 to 2014, at 11.3 percent to 13.1 percent, but the last two years show an increase,” the council said in the report published this week. The crimes “that have had the clearest development in the past few years are harassment, fraud and sexual offences,” the agency said.
Of the six types of offences against the person, five of six rose to their highest level on record last year. The number of assault cases reached its second-highest level.
The number of victims of sexual offences rose to 1.7 percent in 2015 and to 2.4 percent in 2016 from an average of 0.9 percent between 2005 and 2014.
“Young women aged between 16 and 24 is the group that’s most subject to sexual offences, with 14 percent of young women stating that they were victims of at least one such crime during 2016,” the council said. “Among men in the same age group, 1.2 percent said they had been victims.”
Young women are also subject to harassment to a greater extent, the council said. They survey contains no answers as to why a certain type of crime increases, and analysis is needed to improve understanding of the reasons for the increase, it said.
Fewer than half of the crimes in the survey were reported to the police. Sexual offences, harassment and threats were the least reported while people most often notified the police of burglaries, the survey showed.
The number of property crimes against households, such as car theft and burglaries, rose slightly last year but is down compared with the level in 2006.

ReplyDeleteUndercover Informant Confronted FBI Handlers About Uranium One Deal, Was Told ‘Politics’ Was Involved
JOHN SEXTONPosted at 9:21 pm on November 20, 2017
The Hill has a follow-up report on the blockbuster from last month about the FBI’s uncovering of a Russian bribery and extortion plot to gain access to the U.S. nuclear market. The new report rebuts claims that the undercover investigation had no connection to the Uranium One sale to Russia’s Rosatom. As an example, Reuters reported last week that undercover informant William Campbell never mentioned the Rosatom purchase of Uranium One during interviews:
SEE ALSO: “Walking Dead” grumble thread: Rick vs. Daryl in the World Series of love
Some people who know Campbell are skeptical that he can shed much light on Uranium One. Two law enforcement officials with direct involvement in the Rosatom bribery case in which Campbell was an informant said they had no recollection or record of him mentioning the deal during their repeated interviews with him.
Also, although both Uranium One and the bribery cases involved Rosatom, the two cases involved different business units, executives and allegations, with little other apparent overlap, Reuters found in a review of the court records of the bribery case.
But after reviewing 5,000 documents, Hill reporter John Solomon says he is absolutely certain Campbell was aware of the sale. In fact, he was asked to help respond to political opposition to it:
Campbell’s FBI informant file shows Uranium One came up several times in 2010 as the sale was pending, partly because Tenex was Rosatom’s commercial arm and would be charged with finding markets for the new uranium being mined and enriched both in the United States and abroad.
Campbell himself was directly solicited by his colleagues to help overcome opposition to the Uranium One deal, the FBI informant files show. In an Oct. 6, 2010, email with the subject line “ARMZ + Uranium One,” Fisk forwarded a news article outlining Republican efforts to derail the sale.
“The referenced article may present a very good opportunity for Sigma [Campbell’s company] to try and remove the opposing influences, if that is something you can do,” Fisk wrote the informant, who was also a paid consultant for the company at the time.
Despite this, it’s not clear that the information Campbell gave the FBI starting in 2009 (a year before the sale) was passed up the chain. If it was, it’s not clear why it had no impact on members of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) who were asked to approve the Uranium One deal in 2010.
In any case, despite the Russian bribery scheme, the Uranium One deal was approved. Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State was one of the people voting to approve it. After the approval, Solomon reports Cambell confronted his FBI handlers about why it had been allowed. He was told the approval was political.
DeleteCampbell engaged in conversations with his Russian colleagues about the efforts of the Washington entity and others to gain influence with the Clintons and the Obama administration. He also listened as visiting Russians used racially tinged insults to boast about how easy they found it to win uranium business under Obama, according to a source familiar with Campbell’s planned testimony to Congress.
Uranium One was a large enough concern for the informant that he confronted one of his FBI handlers after learning CFIUS had approved the sale and that the U.S. had given Mikerin a work visa despite the extensive evidence of his criminal activity, source said.
The agent responded back to the informant with a comment suggesting “politics” was involved, the source familiar with Campbell’s planned testimony said.
As presented, all of this stinks. Even if Rosatom and Tenex were separate entities on paper, the fact that Russia was making a serious move to enter the U.S. uranium market should have been a red flag when the Uranium One deal came up a year later. The fact that the undercover investigation wasn’t mentioned at the time and stayed hidden for years afterward suggests that this was being handled in an extraordinary way. Perhaps we’ll learn more about the politics at play after Campbell testifies in a closed hearing before members of Congress. The date of Cambell’s planned testimony is not known.

DeleteSource of "extremely high" radiation in Russia a mystery
ReplyDeleteA member of the Russian branch of Greenpeace protests against nuclear power at the headquarters of the Russian atomic agency Rosatom in Moscow, in an April 19, 2011 file photo. AP
MOSCOW -- Russian authorities on Tuesday confirmed reports of a spike in radioactivity in the air over the Ural Mountains.
The Russian Meteorological Service said in a statement Tuesday that it recorded the release of Ruthenium-106 in the southern Urals in late September and classified it as "extremely high contamination."
France's nuclear safety agency earlier this month said that it recorded radioactivity in the area between the Volga River and the Ural Mountains from a suspected accident involving nuclear fuel or the production of radioactive material. It said the release of the isotope Ruthenium-106 posed no health or environmental risks to European countries.
At the time, Russia's state-controlled Rosatom corporation said in a statement that there had been no radiation leak from its facilities.
The Russian meteorological office's report, however, noted high levels of radiation in the villages adjacent to Rosatom's Mayak plant for spent nuclear fuel.
Mayak in a statement on Tuesday denied being the source of contamination. The plant said it has not conducted any work on extracting Ruthenium-106 from spent nuclear fuel "for several years."
Radiation sickness: 8 terrifying symptoms
Mayak, in the Chelyabinsk region, has been responsible for at least two of Russia's biggest radioactive accidents. In 2004 it was confirmed that waste was being dumped in the local river. Nuclear regulators say that no longer happens, but anti-nuclear activists say it's impossible to tell given the level of state secrecy.
Environmental pressure group Greenpeace said in a statement on Tuesday that it would petition the Russian Prosecutor General's office to investigate "a possible concealment of a radiation accident" and check whether public health was sufficiently protected.

ReplyDeleteNow I hear Trump is planning on doing away with Net Neutrality.
If I knew then what I know now, I would have voted for Hillary.
I repeat, if I knew then what I know now, I would have voted for Hillary.
Hillary was annoying. Trump is a crude embarrassment, tiresome and obnoxious.
Keeping us out of war? She sure couldn't have done any worse than Trump. Trump's been pushing the edge for months. He has gutted the State Department and belittled the SOS while at the same time asking for huge increases in military spending. $1.7 trillion for upgraded nuclear arms. Madness (no pun intended).
Environment, and health and safety? You've got to be kidding. The man has gutted the EPA and cancelled 'every' regulation Obama ever put in place including the smart ones. He quit the 'nonbinding' Paris Accords because he could, a meaningless gesture that put the US on the outs with the rest of the world and further diminished America's claim to leadership.
Healthcare? He singlehandedly destroyed Obamacare and replaced it with...nothing.
Things like net neutrality, pipelines, etc., he does these things because some millionaire complements him and whispers in his ear.
Trade? He's a pariah around the world.
His promised 'tax cut for the middle class'? A joke. It's another giveaway to the rich and wall street, the same people he railed against as he lied to his base, the same people he likes to hang with if they let him, his real constituency.
Budget deficit? He's on track to surpass by a large margin what both Bush and Obama added to the national debt. This is especially galling given that the economy is humming along and we have no major wars at the moment. Bush had two major wars to pay for. Obama had to respond to the 2008 financial crisis. Trump's got none of that.
Hillary's corruption? She's a piker compared to Trump. The tax plan alone will give Trump millions. His relatives and friends stand to make billions.
I could go on but you probably get the point.

New York Times killed Weinstein sexual misconduct story in 2004
ReplyDeleteA former New York Times reporter claims the paper ordered up a story in 2004 about Harvey Weinstein’s alleged sexual misconduct — but then “stripped” it of any reference to the accusations after being pressured by him to do so.
“After intense pressure from Weinstein … the story was gutted,” Sharon Waxman wrote Sunday in an article for The Wrap, a site she founded in 2009.
“I was told at the time that Weinstein had visited the newsroom in person to make his displeasure known,” Waxman added. “I knew he was a major advertiser in the Times, and that he was a powerful person overall.”
The Times did not return a request for comment Sunday night.

ReplyDeleteRound Earthers Beware
Mike Hughes Denounces Astronauts and MSM and Vows to Launch His Own Home Built Steam Powered Rocket in Order to Disprove Their Crazy Round-earth Memes
Seeking to prove that a conspiracy of astronauts fabricated the shape of the Earth, a California man intends to launch himself 1,800 feet high on Saturday in a rocket he built from scrap metal.
Assuming the 500-mph, mile-long flight through the Mojave Desert does not kill him, Mike Hughes told the Associated Press, his journey into the atmosflat will mark the first phase of his ambitious flat-Earth space program.
Hughes’s ultimate goal is a subsequent launch that puts him miles above the Earth, where the 61-year-old limousine driver hopes to photograph proof of the disc we all live on.
“It’ll shut the door on this ball earth,” Hughes said in a fundraising interview with a flat-Earth group for Saturday’s flight. Theories discussed during the interview included NASA being controlled by round-Earth Freemasons and Elon Musk making fake rockets from blimps.
Hughes promised the flat-Earth community that he would expose the conspiracy with his steam-powered rocket, which will launch from a heavily modified mobile home — though he acknowledged that he still had much to learn about rocket science.
Since this launch will merely be the first in an expected series of flights to disprove the round earth myth, he is looking for additional expert help in his venture. Since as he says, he has much to learn about rocket science, he is looking for like minds who are also people who are technically and scientifically attuned to the vagaries of steam propulsion and hard landings, someone like a faux farmer for instance. He is also looking for a PR man to get his story out to the world, someone who like himself is dismissive of the MSM and their fake news stories. If one of these candidates is also proficient in letters such as an English major for instance that would be ideal as Mr. Hughes indicates ‘he don’t write too good’.

ReplyDeleteSen. Warren Won’t Say Al Franken Should Resign
JOHN SEXTONPosted at 3:01 pm on November 21, 2017
Sen. Elizabeth Warren was on the Stephen Colbert show Monday night. During this appearance, she was asked whether or not Al Franken should resign in the wake of sexual harassment allegations against him. Warren dodged the question and instead argued that real change isn’t going after famous harassers but going after the non-famous ones.
“So, look, I was just enormously disappointed about this,” Warren said. She continued, “I knew Sen. Franken long before he was Sen. Franken and his wife Franni. These allegations are serious, and women have a right to be heard and listened to on this.
“Al is going to be subjected to a hearing in the United States Senate, an investigation. We have had, for a long time now in the Senate, long before I got there, a bipartisan ethics committee that meets on a regular basis, and he’s going to go in and answer.”
In other words, Warren doesn’t think Franken should resign. She thinks he should go before the toothless ethics committee where he’ll likely be given a slap on the wrist. In order to disguise the fact that she wants to give Franken a pass, Warren then changed the subject.....

Vivian Bercovici: You can thank Obama for the looming Mideast war against Iran

7:21 AM EST
It has been a particularly busy few weeks here in the Middle East, even by the chaotic standards of the region.
As the world welcomed the demise of ISIL’s reign of terror in the Mideast, it largely missed a more spectacular development: the entrenchment of Iranian power and control, from Tehran to the Mediterranean Sea, controlling large swaths of Syria and all of Lebanon, and strategic outposts in Yemen and Libya. As ISIL filled the vacuum left by the abdication of American power by the Obama administration, so now Iran will occupy the space left by ISIL.
Iran openly brays its desire for the destruction of Israel and its intention to spread its extreme, radical and violent brand of Islam throughout the region. In Iran’s sights are Jordan, the Gulf states and Saudi Arabia.
The Obama administration romanced Iran, but snubbed and even humiliated traditional American allies, like Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE and Kuwait. As a result, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, two significant powers threatened and marginalized by Obama’s pro-Iranian policy, have become close and unlikely allies of Israel. Strategic, political, military and intelligence co-operation among these countries is reported to be deeply entrenched and close.....

DeletePOSTED ON NOVEMBER 20, 2017 BY JOHN HINDERAKER IN MEDIA BIAS
DeleteNEWSWEEK: CHARLES MANSON = DONALD TRUMP
Serial killer Charles Manson has died, so it was probably inevitable that Democrats would try to connect him–somehow!–with Donald Trump. It was Newsweek that did the dirty deed: “HOW MURDERER CHARLES MANSON AND DONALD TRUMP USED LANGUAGE TO GAIN FOLLOWERS.” I suppose they could have written, “HOW MURDERER CHARLES MANSON AND BARACK OBAMA USED LANGUAGE TO GAIN FOLLOWERS.” But they didn’t.
The death of cult leader and convicted murderer Charles Manson resurfaces tales from his twisted family’s killing spree after nearly four decades. Manson orchestrated the brutal deaths of actress Sharon Tate and six other innocent people in the 1960s according to historical reports, which leave many wondering how he convinced followers, made up of a former Sunday school teacher, a church choir singer and a one-time homecoming princess, into committing such brutal acts.
Just a bunch of all-American, drug-addled mass murderers!
It would be hard to find two people born in the U.S. in the 20th century with less in common than Charles Manson and Donald Trump. Nevertheless, Newsweek absurdly tries to tie them together:
According to psychoanalyst Mark Smaller, past president of the American Psychoanalytic Association, part of Manson’s power lay in the type of language he used. Notably, Manson was able to speak in a way that engaged those who felt marginalized or alienated.
But wait! Weren’t his followers best described as Sunday School teachers and homecoming princesses? (Actually, no.)
Smaller is clear that he does not believe President Donald Trump is similar to the convicted killer, or that their followers have any shared beliefs or characteristics, but he did say we can look to the current president to see how language is used to form a bond with followers.
“Our current president speaks in an emotional or affective way to large numbers of people in our country who feel a kind of alienation or disconnection from the government,” he said. “They feel very responded to and become his political base.”
This is idiotic. One could say of virtually any political leader that “language is used to form a bond with followers.” Newsweek put out this reprehensible tweet, which confirms that the whole purpose of this foolish article was to smear President Trump through a fanciful association with Charles Manson:

“Similar language.” Really? President Trump advocates LSD use, a hippie lifestyle and mass murder? It is hard to imagine anything more reprehensible, but Newsweek long ago abandoned any pretense of being a respectable news organ.
The funny thing about this is that there is a prominent American politician to whom a direct line to Charles Manson can be drawn. His name is Barack Obama. Obama’s first political campaign was launched in the living room of his close friend Bernardine Dohrn, the wife of unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers. For what is Ms. Dohrn best known? She cheered on the Manson murders, considering them “groovy.” As Daniel Flynn reminds us:
The charismatic Bernardine Dohrn, later a friend of Barack and Michelle Obama, feverishly told Weatherman followers: “Dig it: first they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, then they even shoved a fork into the victim’s stomach. Wild!”
Barack Obama’s friend Bernadine Dohrn later claimed that her endorsement of the Manson murders was an “ironic joke.” You can always trust a Communist to have a sense of humor.
So, there actually is a link between the cult leader Charles Manson and a major American political figure. But don’t expect Newsweek, or any other “mainstream” news source, to mention it.

Trump: The End of Jihad?
By James Lewis
The Sunni equivalent of the pope, the grand mufti of Saudi Arabia, a revered figure in half the Muslim world, has just declared that it is forbidden to kill Jews. This is the culmination of years of delicate diplomacy between Israel and Saudi Arabia, with the active aid and support of Egypt, Jordan, and other peaceful forces in the world, including the United States.
This high-level Islamic declaration of peace comes as a climax after a thunderous avalanche of strategic events, culminating in the Saudi purge by King Salman and his heir apparent, Mohammed bin Salman, which has kept opposition figures like billionaire Alwaleed bin Talal locked up in a hotel, along with dozens of other power-holders in Arabia, to force them to give vast amounts of money to the kingdom, which is facing economic disaster with the fall of oil prices. The militant war faction in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states is under attack from within, and it may be crumbling.
This entire strategic event has been carefully planned and orchestrated by the duly elected president of the United States, one Donald J. Trump, with the active help of Israel, Egypt, and some Saudi royals. Even as you read this, Donald Trump is still hated and pursued by a posse of corrupt leftists in Washington, D.C., now holding an empty bag.
In this major, strategic campaign Trump was diplomatically aided by Egypt's President El-Sisi, who has openly declared the need for deep reform in Islam. The current tremendous opening for peace in the world has been consistently opposed by the Obama-Hillary Democratic Party....

ReplyDeleteWhat nonsense. Anyone who would believe Trump has anything to do with this is tone-deaf to reality. Saudi Arabia is looking for allies wherever it can get them even if it's Israel. It's a move to counter the growing rise of Iran. One hegemon worried about the rise of a second hegemon.
In addition, SA has been running large deficits for a few years now. Their assault on Yemen is costing them in money and influence around the world. It's led to the introduction of ISIS there and the growth of al Queda to the point that it now controls about 25% of the country and by all reports is governing more effectively than any of the other parties there.
The Saudi attack on Qatar has been futile up to this point.
Internally, they are been torn by political and demographic problems. They are used to using slave (or the nearest thing to it) labor from Africa as their biggest labor force and have simply bribed the rest of the population into compliance. Now, they can't afford it, they are cutting back on the giveaways and the natives are getting restless. Their recent guns AND butter policy hasn't worked out too well for them (possibly the reason they are thinking about letting all those princes they arrested ransom themselves out of prison). Their policy to cut prices on oil to drive out the shale suppliers hasn't work which complicates their problems massively.
They bought around $84 billion in arms last year and because of their wars and their proxies wars they are still running out of ammo. The Houthi recently fired a missile at Riyadh.
The US is an afterthought. We are their main supplier of arms but we have been for decades through both Dems and GOP administrations.
As for Trump, they recognize him for what he is, a rather crude narcissist and publicity whore. You want something from him all you have to do is invite him to your palace, lay out the red carpet, fawn over him, let him do a little sword dancing or something similar, laugh at his jokes, maybe mention some business deal where he can dip his beak, tell him what a great friend he is, and that he's a genius.

CAN'T MISS VIDEO OF FLAT EARTH ROCKET MAN'S FIRST FLIGHT !!!!!
DeleteAssuming the 500-mph, mile-long flight through the Mojave Desert does not kill him, Mike Hughes told the Associated Press, his journey into the atmosflat will mark the first phase of his ambitious flat-Earth space program.
Hughes’s ultimate goal is a subsequent launch that puts him miles above the Earth, where the 61-year-old limousine driver hopes to photograph proof of the disc we all live on.
“It’ll shut the door on this ball earth,” Hughes said in a fundraising interview with a flat-Earth group for Saturday’s flight. Theories discussed during the interview included NASA being controlled by round-Earth Freemasons and Elon Musk making fake rockets from blimps.
Just to be clear, this isn’t Hughs’ first attempt. He’s been building steam-powered rockets for a while now. Check out this flight he took in 2014. It actually worked. Sort of. Well… kind of. Aside from nearly being killed. (Video is only a minute long.)

The southwestern United States was gripped by a heat wave on Wednesday as experts warned of temperatures that would smash century-old records over the Thanksgiving weekend.
ReplyDeleteTemperatures are expected to rise to 91 degrees Fahrenheit (33C) in parts of southern California on Wednesday and Thursday, while Phoenix, Arizona, is predicted to swelter in 88F heat -- about 20 degrees above seasonal norms.

President Donald Trump authorized an increase in federal funding available for emergency protective measures in California as a result of the wildfires, which broke out on October 8 and are continuing to scorch around half a dozen parts of the state.
88 is warm ... But not sweltering.

Trump: The End of Jihad?
By James Lewis
This entire strategic event has been carefully planned and orchestrated by the duly elected president of the United States, one Donald J. Trump, with the active help of Israel, Egypt, and some Saudi royals. Even as you read this, Donald Trump is still hated and pursued by a posse of corrupt leftists in Washington, D.C., now holding an empty bag.

Thank God we've finally got a winner in The White House !
DeleteThat is my Thanks To The Lord this Thanksgiving Day.
Trump and his allies in the Muslim world, in Israel, and in the saner parts of Asia and the West have worked this strategy based on his decades of experience and deep intelligence in the international hotel business, where survival depends on accurate knowledge. Good business and peace go together.

That they don't realize it is one of the sad stories of Christmas and will be replayed for many a Christmas to come like replays of It's a Wonderful Life or A Christmas Story only with no happy ending.

We will be thanking the President that peace is breaking forth in the world, that the stock market is soaring, and our tax breaks will be here by Christmas, that the unemployment rate is at a record low, inflation is still under control, that we are finally getting a grip on our borders, and we will be praying that he sees the light and aids the Kurds.
DeleteWe will be thanking the President that the entire tone of the nation's conversation is changing, hope and life are now on our lips, a new jaunt and spring is seen in the walk of everyone, that Hillary has been vanquished forever, and Fatso Kim III has piped down.

DeleteTurkey Day - No Pun Intended
Every day some new revelation comes out concerning the cynical, self-serving moves being perpetrated by this administration against the people of the US and all the while the sheeple yawn.
This week, stories were printed showing the extend of the GOP plan to stack the courts.
Two days ago, it was news that the FCC under Trump was getting ready to gut net neutrality rules an action that will affect everyone in the US that uses a communication device using the internet.
Yesterday, Trump comes to the defense of Judge Moore.
Today, it's reported the FCC is at it again with plans to do away with rules regarding media ownership that were put in place to prevent monopoly and promote competing views in broadcasting.
Also today, we see the NY state AG has been probing a ‘massive scheme’ to influence FCC with fake net neutrality comments. AG Schneiderman said in a tweet his office has been investigating a "massive scheme" over the last six months to "corrupt the FCC's comment process on net neutrality by impersonating 100,000s of real Americans."
Bad enough, but in his letter Schneiderman wrote that the process the FCC has "employed to consider potentially sweeping alterations to current net neutrality rules has been corrupted by the fraudulent use of Americans' identities - and the FCC has been unwilling to assist my office in our efforts to investigate this unlawful activity."

Trump's vow to cut out US foreign intervention? President Donald Trump has increased the number of U.S. troops and civilians working for the Department of Defense in the Middle East to 54,180 from 40,517 in the past four months, representing a 33 percent rise.
This number doesn't even account for the big rise in troops stationed in Afghanistan since Trump announced his new strategy for the fight against the Taliban in late August...
While all this is going on Trump plays golf and keeps up his continuing cat fights with Lavar Bell and Goodell.
And the Idaho Spud says, "Pass the gravy."

DeleteISIS is gone.
Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia are all friends.
Fatso Kim III has had a sock shoved in his mouth by the Chinese.
Just the thought of a possible President Trump sent our stocks skyward, as ascent that continues to this day.
Decorum, grace and beauty, and intelligent life has returned to The White House.
Only the burning of Boggan's Oases breaks into the bracing news, a tragedy for an elite few, meaningless to the restless urban ignorant non-fishing masses across the country, urban captives like our Quirk, for instance, who wouldn't know a rod from a reel.
The vast majority of the so-called “mainstream media” has gone completely communist in its support for the most anti-American figures of our time, as evidenced by their continued hero worship of figures who are trying to destroy our culture.
ReplyDeleteGQ Magazine became the latest collection of libtards to throw traditional values out the window by naming failed former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick as their “Citizen of the Year,” while honoring pro-Sharia law Islamic radical Linda Sarsour to a list of honorees as well.
As reported by PJ Media:
While Kaepernick remains without a team, his act of protest in kneeling for the national anthem has continued, and sparked a Veterans Day boycott of the NFL this past weekend. Furthermore, GQ also reported that Kaepernick would team up with Muslim activist Linda Sarsour, who supports a political enshrinement of sharia law and declared a “jihad” against President Donald Trump.
Kaepernick needs a hair cut, his hair is way to long.
DeleteHe looks like some kind of Martian that just put his finger in an electrical outlet.
Kaepernick could use an education, too.
DeleteNorth Korean leader Kim Jong Un did not meet with a senior Chinese envoy who visited Pyongyang recently, and some in the diplomatic community are viewing it as a deliberate slap in the face to Beijing at a time when the relationship between the countries is under significant strained.

Trump, who returned from a 12-day trip to Asia last Tuesday, seemed to hope the Chinese envoy's visit would bring results. "China is sending an Envoy and Delegation to North Korea - A big move, we'll see what happens!" Trump tweeted on November 16.
It is with true sadness that I inform the Bar of the destruction by fire of Boggan's Oasis:
ReplyDeleteBoggan's Oasis
http://www.boggans.com/
Set on the banks of the Grande Rhonde River in the heart of salmon and steelhead country it was always a favortie haunt of fishermen.
Mr. and Mrs. Boggan seems to have retired late this night, having been out visiting friends or some such.
Mrs. Boggan was still awake when she heard to popping sounds made by the fire from her bedroom. Going to investigate she encountered the kitchen complex becoming engulfed in flames.
By the time the one and only rural fire department water truck had arrived Boggan's had been reduced to a pile of glowing ashes by the inferno.
It shall be missed by myself and so many other fishermen who often stopped there for food and drink.
Go to the website to view Boggan's Oasis as it once was and as I shall always remember it.

EXCLUSIVE: 'American mercenaries are torturing' Saudi elite rounded up by new crown prince - and billionaire Prince Alwaleed was hung upside down 'just to send a message'
ReplyDeleteSource in Saudi Arabia says American private security contractors are carrying out'interrogations' on princes and billionaires arrested in crackdown
Detained members of Saudi elite have been hung by their feet and beaten by interrogates, source says
Among those hung upside down are Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, an investor worth at least $7 billion who is being held at Riyadh's Ritz Carlton
Arrests were ordered three weeks ago by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
Source claims mercenaries are from 'Blackwater', a claim also made by Lebanese president
But its successor firm denies it has any operations in Saudi Arabia whatsoever and says its staff abide by U.S. law
Americans who commit torture abroad can be jailed for up to 20 years

Saudi princes and billionaire businessmen arrested in a power grab earlier this month are being strung up by their feet and beaten by American private security contractors, a source in the country tells DailyMail.com.
The group of the country's most powerful figures were arrested in a crackdown ordered by Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman three weeks ago as he ordered the detention of at least 11 fellow princes and hundreds of businessmen and government officials over claims of corruption.
DailyMail.com can disclose that the arrests have been followed by 'interrogations' which a source said were being carried out by 'American mercenaries' brought in to work for the 32-year-old crown prince, who is now the kingdom's most powerful figure.
'They are beating them, torturing them, slapping them, insulting them. They want to break them down,' the source told DailyMail.com.
'Blackwater' has been named by DailyMail.com's source as the firm involved, and the claim of its presence in Saudi Arabia has also been made on Arabic social media, and by Lebanon's president.
The firm's successor, Academi, strongly denies even being in Saudi Arabia and says it does not engage in torture, which it is illegal for any U.S. citizen to commit anywhere in the world.
The Saudi crown prince, according to the source, has also confiscated more than $194 billion from the bank accounts and seized assets of those arrested.....

Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that she has no regrets about leaving State Department headquarters during the 2012 Benghazi raid that left four Americans dead, a decision that exposed her to criticism during years of investigations into the terror attack.
"You know, I was there until 9, 10 o'clock. We had done a number of what are called SVTC’s, you know, satellite conferences," Clinton told radio host Hugh Hewitt during an interview that aired Wednesday. "I had talked on the phone. I had talked over satellite with our team in Libya. I had talked with members of our government, Defense and Intel and others, obviously the White House."
Blood on her hands.
